1. I added test cases for contiguous, compact, and chunked, and external storage datasets, and also attribute.
The test includes dataspace selections.
2. I added a test case of extending dataset of zero dimension size and shrinking back to zero dimension size.
3. I updated the Makefile to include the new data file to be cleaned up.
4. The dataspace code has another bug - when the maximal dimension isn't passed in for H5Sset_extent_simple, it
is supposed to be same as the dimension. The current library sets NULL to it. I corrected it and added a
test case to it.
5. I corrected the tests of Fortran and C++ for the problem in point 3.
Tested on jam, heiwa, and amani.
Purpose: Maintenance
Description: h5dwrite/read_f and h5awrite_read_f functions were overloaded
with dims argument being of type INTEGER and INTEGER(HSIZE_T).
We promised to remove overloading in 1.4 release. It was
removed from documentation but not from the source code.
Solution: Finish code cleanup.
Platforms tested: Solaris 2.7 32 and 64 bit, and copper with --enable-
parallel. Windows are broken, so Kent and Xuan
will test it with their changes later.
Misc. update:
Purpose:
Bug fix, code improvement
Description:
Fortran tests didn't cleanup created files. Also HDF5_PREFIX and
HDF5_PARAPREFIX were not used to specify location of the files.
There was a redundant file in the testpar directory that contained
an error reporting function used by both serial and parallel tests.
Solution:
Created library h5test_fortran.a that contains functions used by the
serial and parallel tests. It includes Fortran and C functions that
may be called from Fortran programs to report errors, to modify
file names and to cleanup files after run. Modified test code to
use new functions.
Platforms tested:
Linux 2.2 (eirene) serial
IRIX64 (modi4) parallel with HDF5_PREFIX and HDF5_PARAPREFIX set to $SCR
Solris 2.7 with mpich 1.2.4 with HDF5_PARAPREFIX set to /tmp/epourmal
Purpose:
Code maintenance
Description:
read/write APIs have been changed.
Solution:
Made necessary changes to the tests.
Platforms tested:
Windows 98, Linux, Solaris 2.7, O2K, T3E
Adding the Fortran interface to the HDF5 library
Description:
Fortran is now a subdirectory of the HDF5 library tree.
Platforms tested:
Solaris and IRIX (O2K)
